Despite their historical strength, resilience, and untapped potential, Iraqi women continue to face systemic barriers to their rights, opportunities, and safety. Social norms and the aftermath of conflict perpetuate significant challenges like violence and discrimination in political and economic spheres.

• Empowering Women and Men:

We believe equality is essential for a thriving society. Through educational programs and awareness campaigns, we empower both women and men to understand and advocate for women's rights. By fostering knowledge and confidence across social, economic, and political spheres, we equip everyone to contribute to a more just and equitable future.

• Reducing Violence and Discrimination:

Combatting violence against women and dismantling discriminatory practices are core to our mission. We create safe spaces that offer crucial psychosocial support while fostering professional development opportunities for women. Through impactful initiatives and advocacy campaigns, we strive to eliminate violence and promote equitable participation. We also recognize the vital role of men as allies in this transformative journey towards equality.

• Empowerment for Independence:

Social, political, and economic empowerment are pivotal pathways to transformative change for women. Our initiatives focus on equipping women with essential skills and opportunities to not only enter the workforce but excel in decision-making roles. Beyond this, our goal is to cultivate an environment where women lead and influence positive change across sectors. These programmatic approaches serve as our roadmap in the women's rights sector, guiding our efforts to navigate Iraq's complex societal landscape. As we continue to advocate for change, amplify voices, and shape a future where women stand as equals, Al-Mesalla remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering women and fostering inclusive societies.
